Greetings all,
It breaks my heart to write this, but TCASL events will be online only for the foreseeable future. Covid test positivity rates are up to almost 10.5% statewide (contrast the second week of July when it was 1.6%), Omicron is definitely in Minnesota, and face to face ASL is inherently a high-risk activity. I cannot in clean conscience suggest that we gather in person, indoors, for an extended period of time in such a climate.
My concern isn't with any member of our group. I believe that we're all approaching this in as responsible a manner as our respective situations allow. However, I absolutely don't trust the possibly unvaccinated, definitely unmasked people at the next table over. In our present environment there are just too many throws of the dice, and we only have to get unlucky once.
I wish you all a happy holiday season, and hope to see you soon, in saner times.
